auctions allows fot their daily sale. These are species of great tradition and roots in
coastal communities and therefore they are highly demanded but they are also much
appreciated by the tourists that visits the Alboran coast.
According to data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in 2016
the expenditure on fishery products in Andalusia accounted for 12.6% of the total
expenditure on food. This value is slightly lower than the figure for the whole of
Spain, which was for the same year of 13.2%, and has experienced a negative
evolution in the period 2005–2016 (Fig. 14.18). The consumption per capita in
Andalusia behaves in the same way since, for the same previous period, has
decreased by 5.5 kg/inhabitant, almost doubling the decline observed in the whole
of Spain that was only 2.9 kg/inhabitant (Fig. 14.19).
